Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"The sweet and sour flavor steals the freshness of the meat, a failure! Some have done this in folk imitations of imperial cuisine, but that doesn't mean you can get away with it."

Fang Zheng Yi had a small table in front of him, filled with wine and dishes, which he was picking at.

Beside him stood the trembling chef.

He didn't know why he had been inexplicably dragged in and subjected to various criticisms.

Fang Zheng Yi was bored and looking for someone to amuse him. The Chu family's chef was truly terrible at cooking; he had wanted to scold him for a long time!

There were hardly any delicious leftovers in the kitchen!

The surrounding people were silent, pondering life. How did a violent criminal's kidnapping turn into this?

Why can he be so carefree? I don't understand.

Am I dreaming? Someone secretly slapped themselves twice.

"What kind of garbage is this dish? So salty! And this noodle..."

"Young Master, these are all I know how to make," the chef was on the verge of tears.

"You're useless! Get out!"

The chef was pardoned and ran off in a panic.

Master Lu's eyes were completely red, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Young Master Fang, after stalling for so long, what will it take for you to release him?"

"Aren't you looking for that Lord Feng? I want to negotiate with him when he arrives."

"This official has arrived! Talk about whatever you want!" An angry voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Then, Feng Heng led more than a dozen constables in, causing people to scatter to the sides.

Hope surged in Master Lu's eyes, and he hurriedly went forward to greet him.

Feng Heng was also polite. The two seemed to be very familiar. After a brief exchange of greetings, Feng Heng looked towards the main hall.

Seeing the four members of the Zhou family, a hint of joy flashed in Feng Heng's eyes. He whispered to his subordinates, "Take these four into custody first and await interrogation."

After saying that, he raised his head, frowned at Fang Zheng Yi, and said, "Outrageous! Release him immediately!"

"You must be Lord Feng. You won't kill me if I release him, right?"

"I won't! Without a trial, how could this official easily kill someone?" Feng Heng said.

Fang Zheng Yi turned to look at the crowd and, seeing someone nodding to him, smiled and said, "Good! Lord Feng is straightforward. It's too oppressive in here. Why don't we go outside to talk?"

"Lord Feng didn't bring any archers, did he?"

Feng Heng smiled coldly, "You think too highly of yourself. Do you think I need to use archers against your two or three people? Since you're willing to go outside to talk, then this official will accompany you!"

He turned his head and led the way out of the main hall.

Well, judging by the looks of it, they probably underestimate me. They shouldn't use archers.

Fang Zheng Yi got up and followed him out, with five people guarding him.

Zhou Tie carried Lu Xiuwen, wary of sneak attacks.

Outside the hall was a bustling crowd. Looking through the circular moon gate, there was a large crowd of people!

When he came in, someone automatically made way for Feng Heng, and he was too anxious to notice.

Now that he came out, the unusual scene immediately made him frown. He asked Master Lu beside him, "Did you bring all these people?"

Master Lu also looked confused as he came out: "No, there are even beggars in here... They probably sneaked in to watch the excitement."

"Get all the irrelevant people out of here..."

"Wait a minute! Lord Feng, I can release him, but I'm afraid you won't keep your word. Let these people stay here as witnesses, or I won't release him."

Seeing this scene in the crowd behind him, many members of the Beggar Clan and thugs from brothels were already having second thoughts. They were told to come and help, but how did it turn into fighting the government?

I'm not playing with you!

But looking back, there were people everywhere, and they had the mentality that more people meant more excitement, so they stubbornly stayed.

As for the onlookers who didn't know the truth, they kept pushing forward...

Feng Heng looked at the crowd, confirmed that they were ordinary people, and nodded in agreement.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Lu Xiuwen is a good citizen. You have abused him like this today, which is a serious crime."

"However, there must be some grievance between you two. Could it be that Lu Xiuwen bullied others by relying on his power? Release him, and boldly tell the truth. After careful consideration, this official may not impose a heavy sentence and will definitely give you justice."

Fang Zheng Yi carefully sized him up and asked, "Do you have any contact with the Prince of Wu?"

As soon as the words "Prince of Wu" came out, Feng Heng felt as if his soul had been sucked out! His hair stood on end!

He lost his composure and exclaimed, "Who exactly are you! Why do you mention the Prince of Wu?!"

Fang Zheng Yi sighed inwardly. This reaction confirms it.

There was no need to hide it now. Fang Zheng Yi slowly opened his mouth: "Who am I? I am Fang..."

Before the word "Fang" could come out, a scream suddenly came from behind the moon gate!

Wei Gonggong rode a horse, overturning a group of people and shouting loudly as he barged in, only managing to pull on the reins when he reached outside the hall.

He jumped off the horse and hurriedly walked towards the center, shouting loudly as he walked, "Lord Feng! You didn't even tell this old one when you had news. You're too unkind! Fortunately, this old one came in person!"

As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd, quickly identifying his target!

Wei Gonggong's eyes immediately turned into two crescent moons, and then he pretended to pounce, while sweetly shouting, "Uncle Fang! I finally..."

Before he could finish speaking, a strong figure appeared from behind him, suddenly knocking Wei Gonggong over, causing him to lose his balance and jump far away!

The person who came later knelt down in front of Fang Zheng Yi with a whoosh, loudly and excitedly saying: "This humble officer, Wan Feng, the garrison commander of Qishui Stream Guardhouse, greets Lord Fang!"

"Lord Fang! I've finally found you!"

"This humble officer..."

As he was speaking, more than a dozen people came one after another and knelt in front of Fang Zheng Yi, each loudly announcing their names, as if afraid that Fang Zheng Yi wouldn't hear them.

Fang Zheng Yi was stunned and looked at the group of people in front of him speechlessly: "Guardhouse... You?"

Wan Feng said excitedly: "Lord Fang! His Majesty knew about your disappearance and has been ordering the guardhouses in various places to send people to find you. Please return to the capital, Lord Fang. This humble officer will immediately report to my superiors!"

"Please return to the capital, Lord Fang!!!" A group of people shouted in unison, their roar shaking the sky!

It shook Feng Heng, turning him pale and causing him to tremble.

It shook Master Lu, making him feel as if his parents had died, and he was terrified.

It shook the onlookers, who were overjoyed. The group of supporters saw that Fang Zheng Yi had an extraordinary identity, and their courage grew stronger. Some clever people had already rushed out and shouted loudly: "Save the gang leader!!!"

"Gang leader is mighty!!!" "Chairman, I'm here!!!"

Wei Gonggong was seeing stars from the impact. He had just gotten up from the ground, holding his hat, muttering in his mouth: "Damn... damn you... horse... you bastards..."

After standing firm and adjusting his emotions, he looked at Fang Zheng Yi and prepared to pounce again.

Before he arrived, a strong floral fragrance had already reached Fang Zheng Yi's nose. Fang Zheng Yi disgustedly stopped Wei Gonggong: "Eunuch?"

"Oh! Uncle Fang, what are you saying! I'm Little Wei!"

"? ? ?"

Wei Gonggong covered his mouth and giggled: "Uncle Fang, Gonggong Guo is this old one's godfather."

Fang Zheng Yi suddenly understood, but the situation changed too quickly, and he was still a little dazed: "Little Wei? How... how did so many people come looking for me?"

"Uncle Fang, you are one of the most important people in the world! You are now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, personally appointed by His Majesty!"

"Come! Bring out the gift I prepared for my Uncle Fang."

The Eastern Depot secret agent who came with him handed over a package. Wei Gonggong unfolded it, revealing a pure white sable fur cloak.

He stepped forward and gently draped it behind Fang Zheng Yi, covering his mouth and laughing again: "Handsome! Uncle Fang is even more handsome!"

Fang Zheng Yi had goosebumps all over his body and was a little speechless. He was appointed as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard while he was away. What is this all about?

Wei Gonggong stood in front of him and respectfully saluted: "Wei Xiaohong greets Commander!"

"Greetings, Commander!"

A group of Eastern Depot secret agents behind him shouted in unison.

A group of beggar thugs heard that it seemed like he had been promoted, and they were related to a high-ranking official! They excitedly howled and shouted along.

"Gang leader!!" "Chairman!!"

"Lord Fang!" "Commander!!" "Master!"

Emotions were contagious, and all kinds of messy shouts began to resound throughout the Chu family's sky, from outside the hall to the outer courtyard and outside the Chu family!

In the earth-shattering shouts, the corners of Fang Zheng Yi's mouth gradually turned up.....

Those without conflicting interests were naturally very excited, but it was different for those with conflicting interests.

Feng Heng, Master Lu, and the group of guards he brought all looked pale.

The Chu family members also had different expressions on their faces. (Shua shua shua, Indian camera movement!)

Confusion and bewilderment flashed in Chu Qinghan's eyes. Chu Deyun wailed and fainted.

Only Chu Youyi looked at Fang Zheng Yi and murmured: "Fang... Fang Zheng Yi?"
